£29.50

A naturally infused black truffle oil from Urbani — made with 100% certified organic Italian extra virgin olive oil and real black winter truffles (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.). This is the Unico range, and the name is the point: it uses no synthetic truffle aroma whatsoever. The vast majority of truffle oils on the market — including many expensive ones — rely on bis(methylthio)methane, a synthetic compound manufactured in a laboratory that mimics truffle flavour. It is one-dimensional, chemically harsh, and bears little resemblance to the real thing. Urbani Unico uses only natural truffle extract and actual truffle pieces infused into cold-pressed organic olive oil. You can see the truffle pieces in the bottle.

The result is a finishing oil with genuine depth and complexity — earthy, aromatic, and recognisably truffle — rather than the overpowering, artificial hit that gives truffle oil a bad name. A few drops are enough. Use it as a finishing drizzle over pasta, risotto, eggs, pizza, grilled vegetables, or roasted meat. It also works well stirred into a classic vinaigrette or drizzled over a tagliata.

This is a storecupboard essential for anyone who cooks with truffle. It extends the truffle experience beyond fresh truffle season and delivers real truffle flavour year-round without compromise.

Producer: Urbani Tartufi, Umbria, Italy. Founded in 1852, now in its sixth generation. Urbani handles an estimated 70% of the world's fresh truffle supply and is the most established name in the truffle trade. The Unico line is their flagship oil range — certified organic, no synthetic compounds, no artificial preservatives, non-GMO.

Ingredients: Italian organic extra virgin olive oil, black winter truffle extract, natural flavour, black truffles (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.)

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within a few months for best flavour.

This is a finishing oil. It is not a cooking oil — do not fry with it or add it to the beginning of a hot pan. Heat diminishes the truffle aromatics. Add it at the very end, directly over the finished dish, just before serving.

Pasta: Drizzle over freshly dressed pasta — it works particularly well with a simple butter and Parmesan base, carbonara, or any cream-based sauce. A few drops over cacio e pepe lifts the whole dish.

Risotto: Finish a mushroom or plain Parmesan risotto with a drizzle just before serving. The warmth of the rice releases the truffle aroma without destroying it.

Eggs: Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, or omelettes — drizzle directly over the top as they come off the heat. Eggs and truffle are one of the great combinations, and this oil makes it accessible any time of year.

Pizza: A few drops over a freshly baked pizza — particularly effective on a simple margherita or a mushroom pizza where the truffle has room to be noticed.

Meat and fish: Drizzle over a tagliata (sliced steak), grilled chicken breast, or a piece of simply cooked white fish. The oil adds depth without competing with the protein.

Vinaigrette: Stir a teaspoon into a classic vinaigrette (olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper) for a truffle-dressed salad.

How much to use: A little goes a long way. Start with a few drops and taste — you can always add more. The natural truffle flavour is subtler than synthetic alternatives, which means it enhances rather than overwhelms.
